An Indefatigable Liar.

AS an illustration of the Colossal
liars" of the West, General McCook
relates the following: He was trav-
cling among the Rocky Mountains,
and straying out one morning from
the trail, stood for moment entranc-
ed by the magnificent landscape
spread out before him, when he was
aroused from his meditations by the
footsteps of one of the guides, who
had followed him, lest he should lose
his way.
"Is not this magnificent, Bill ?"
exclaimed the General, anxious to
show his delight.
"It's mighty purity, General" said
the guide, "but kin show you bigger
sights nor this. Why one time Kan
sas Jim and me had been tramping
three days and nights, and we came
to plain, and right in the midst of
it was a forest all turned to solid
stun !"
The General smiled and remarked /:

The guide expectorated without
changing countenance and continued:
"But that warn't all, general. Thar
war buffalo on that plain, and he
war petrified on the clean jump, and
his huffs had kicked up bit of sod,
and I'm blamed if that warn't petri,
fed in the air -
The General turned an amused
countenance on the narrator and said
"Why, Bill, the sod would have fallen
to the ground by the force of gravity"

A Fall and a Rise.

A farmer who had been doing busi.
ness with some one on the second floor
of building near the market yester.
day, made a slip at the top of the
stairs and came down in spread.eagle
fashion and was for the moment rem
dered unconscious. He was taken
into the Office of livery stable for
temporary examination and treatment
and as they opened his coat and vest
and chafed his hands he opened his
eyes and said:
"Boys, l believe Pm done for"
"Oh, no-you'll soon be all right"
they replied.
Boys" he continued as he tried to
raise up, zone of you go over on the
stand to my ole woman"
"Who is she ?"
"Her name is Potter. There's a
white hoss to the team. You'll know
the wagon by barrel of cider in the
back end. There's also crock of
butter"
"We are to find Mrs. Potter and
tell her you are hurt, and"
"One of the horses is blind, and the
old woman has got red feathers in her
hat"
"Yes, we know. We are to tell
her that you are hurt, and"
"And one Of the fore-wheels of the
wagin has got two new spokes in it,"
continued the man.

A Republican Paper Gives tnstlnteu NEaAso
to the Message.
CHICAGO Tribune.
Full justification of President Cleve-
lands unprecedented course in deyotlng
his annual Communication to Congress ex-
clusively to a consideration Of the surplus
and the best means of distributing and
preventing similar accommodations IN the
future is to be found in the message itself
The message is able and statesmanllke;
luminous in style; perspicuous IN state
ment; clear in its reasoning and lrreiuta-
BILE in it's conclusions. 1t is moderate pro-
lection, such as has been exempiited more
than once in the public uttersuces Of both
the great political parties. The message
rises above patty lines and presents COM
mon basis of patriotic craftsmanship on
which Republicans and Democrats are
bound by every consideration of the pub
lie welfare and of political expediency to
stand together.
This is not time, as the message justly
claims, for the discussion of the theories OF
protection and free trade. Whatever differ
ences Of opinion there may be on general
propositions of political economy, no one
can honestly and intelligently deny that
the present state of the public treasury
nect estates reductions, and each member
of both branches should accept and act
upon the truth so well expressed in the
MESSAGE, that an opportunity for safe, and
careful, and deliberate reform is now Offer
ed, and none of us should be unmindful OF
a time when an abused and irIitated peo-
pie, needless of those who have resisted
timely and reasonable relief, may insist
upon radical AMI sweeping ratification OF

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
In The Interest OF the PeopIe-Benetitto the
LSborIng Glasses.
p,.Y,u JTsr1t


President Cleveland's message TO the
Congress Just COnvenedis, we thlnk, unique
in being confined to the con: liberation OF
ole topic-the tariff question. He goes
straight to the consideration of the in
equitable and illogical character of the
tariff laws. His argument in this respect
is always primarily III the interest OF the
people. He makes clear statement OF
the disadvantages 10 the great bulk Of the
business community which a high tariff
operates, and clearly does he show how in
adequate is even the assumed gain OF those
which it processes 10 benefit when com
pared with the injury it brings to the
much larger class vi consumers. There Is
a shrewd showing here, also, Of the burden
that mole than Offsets the benefits to the
protected CLASSES themselves.
But the main design OF the argument
is in the interest OF the people generally
and especially of the lab0riDg classes. The
message ab0unis in points Of value in this
respect. Its plain presentation Of these
is such as TO bring them easily within the
appreciation OF those not familiar with
tariff discussion. There is CLEAN OF hu-
NOR in the aliusiOn to the claim Of manu-
facturers that our industries are in an in
FAINT condition following upon the celebra-
ton of the centennial anniversary Of the
nations history. Aside from this 1t IL u

DEMANDS CONSIDERATION.
The Message a Wise Departure From
Custom.

Custom.
Chicago Times.
The Presidents message 10 the Fiftieth
Congress ia a new departure, original and
unique In the whole period of our con-
stirutional history there has not appeared
Presidential discourse upon the opening
OF Congress to which it bears any likeness.
Instead of the customary survey OF the
state OF the republic" instead of the
long-winded recapitulation and rehash of
the reports of the Cabinet Ministers, in
stead Of the interminahle and common
place document to the reading of which,
by relays of reading clerks" Congress
men hardly listen with decent re-
spect, and no other mort,l any more Pc
IuSes, this message is brief (yet amply
long, statement of the views of the ex-
ecutlye on a single subject-that of a re-
formation of the tariff laws. If any iusti-
ication Of this presidential new departure
were necessary, it would be sufficient to
cite the notorious fact that the customary
9nnual message to Congress from the Presi-
dent long ago ceased to be treated by the
chambers as a matter of any serious i'm
